Hi Jan and Frank,
I did a sudo gem list --local
 The ruby bindings for pango or gnome were missing. So i did

$ sudo gem install libpango1-ruby
ERROR:  could not find gem libpango1-ruby locally or in a repository

$ sudo gem install libgnome2-ruby
ERROR:  could not find gem libgnome2-ruby locally or in a repository



I then tried Frank's way but the packages could not compile.

Then i decided to try install ruby-gnome2

sudo apt-get install ruby-gnome2

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libart2-ruby libart2-ruby1.8 libatk1-ruby libatk1-ruby1.8 libgconf2-ruby
  libgconf2-ruby1.8 libgdk-pixbuf2-ruby libgdk-pixbuf2-ruby1.8

  libgtksourceview1-ruby libgtksourceview1-ruby1.8 libopengl-ruby

  libpango1-ruby libpango1-ruby1.8 librsvg2-ruby librsvg2-ruby1.8
libvte-ruby
  libvte-ruby1.8
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libart2-ruby libart2-ruby1.8 libatk1-ruby libatk1-ruby1.8 libgconf2-ruby
  libgconf2-ruby1.8 libgdk-pixbuf2-ruby libgdk-pixbuf2-ruby1.8
libglade2-ruby
  libglade2-ruby1.8 libglib2-ruby1.8 libgnome2-ruby libgnome2-ruby1.8
  libgnomecanvas2-ruby libgnomecanvas2-ruby1.8 libgnomeprint2-ruby
  libgnomeprint2-ruby1.8 libgnomeprintui2-ruby libgnomeprintui2-ruby1.8
  libgnomevfs2-ruby libgnomevfs2-ruby1.8 libgtk-mozembed-ruby

libgtkhtml2-ruby1.8
  libgtksourceview1-ruby libgtksourceview1-ruby1.8 libopengl-ruby

  libpango1-ruby libpango1-ruby1.8 librsvg2-ruby librsvg2-ruby1.8
libvte-ruby
  libvte-ruby1.8 ruby-gnome2

It may look like an overkill but it worked!


Thank you so much for pointing the way.

George
